This should really be “Song of the Year” at the 2025 Grammys.
One of my favorite creators “There, I Ruined It” just did a parody of Kermit the Frog performing Snoop Dogg’s “Gin & Juice”, and Lordy, is it something to behold:
Total Masterpiece, am I right?
This has been in my head all morning, and now I lovingly transfer it to yours.
Katy Perry is back, and she’s not playing any games.
She just released her new single “Woman’s World”, which is the lead single off of her upcoming album “143” out September 20th.
It’s super fun, and reminds me of her earlier days- lots of sass and cathcy hooks.
As a woman, of course I love it. Because, let’s be real, women are pretty rad when you think about it. I mean, we can give life, work hard, kick ass, and just do a few things that men can’t.
Don’t hate, appreciate!
Also, how badass does Katy look?
I’m just happy that she’s returning to the infectuous Pop that she started out with, and I’m really looking forward to the new album.
I’m a HUGE Aerosmith fan, and I get a bit twitchy when someone attempts to properly cover anything sung by Steven Tyler. But Kelly Clarkson and that sick voice of hers just ripped out a version of Aersosmith’s 80’s Power Ballad “Angel”, and it’s something else:
Ummmmm… can she cut that as a single please?
What’s so impressive is that she’s singing all these covers on her show completely live.
No autotune, no gimmicks, just pure, raw talent from the OG American Idol winner.
Kudos Kelly!
Check out the “Kelly Clarkson Show” weekdays on NBC.
Her latest album “The Tourtured Poets Department” is spending it’s 11th week at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with millions of copies of sold so far. Some people are complaining that she keeps releasing different versions of her album to keep the top spot, but so what? People are buying it. That just makes Taylor one hell of a business woman, which we already knew that.
Taylor also just released an acoustic version of her latest single “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, and it’s just as hauntingly pretty as the original:
Damn, that song is such a mood.
Woman is unstoppable, and sorry haters, you’re gonna see a hell of a lot of her at the Chiefs games this Fall, as she and the NFL have made the schedules so that she could attend as many Chiefs games as possible to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Carly Pearce has sent her new single to Country radio, and it’s a good, old-fashioned revenge song.
Her new single off her latest album “hummingbird” which came out last month is called “Truck on Fire”, and it’s a departure from what she’s had on Country radio lately. Instead of sad, emotonal songs like her collab with Chris Stapleton “We Don’t Talk Anymore” and her Grammy winning duet with Ashley McBryde “Never Wanted to be That Girl”, Carly ready to get into arson with “Truck on Fire” which is about, well, setting a cheater’s truck on fire. Because, why not?
It’s like the sequel to Carrie Underwood’s 2005 hit “Before He Cheats”. Like, forgetting keying the truck and hitting it with a baseball bat, just light the whole thing up.
That’ll show him.
Although, he probably has insurance…
Personally, I would go after something irreplaceable and sentimental, like his hunting trophies, but that’s just me.
If my husband pulls any dirty tricks, I’m going for the deer heads and turkey beards.
In case you missed it this past 4th of July, Zach Bryan- one of the hottest Country artists on the scene right now- dropped a new album “The Great American Bar Scene”, and there are some predictably great songs on there.
One that is getting a lot of attention is the collab with John Mayer called “Better Days”, and the behind-the-scenes video just came out a few minutes ago.
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don’t get hateful, Lord, hot damn There’s a fire burnin’ in the back forty I’m still findin’ out who the hell I am
And I’m so tired of wastin’ it away Gonna find the time to realize
I’m in deep on better days
[Verse 3: Zach Bryan & John Mayer]
She always told me there’d be times like this
With a blue guitar, a city bar and a streetlight kiss
But I’ve never known quite what I deserve
You try so hard and wind up gettin’ burned
Solid stuff right there…
Zach Bryan makes emo Country that I want to drink beer and reminisce to.
“The Great American Bar Scene” is out now, and Zach is tearing up the road right now on his “Quittin’ Time” tour, and you can get those dates at https://www.zachbryan.com/tour
Morgan Wallen gave fans something to celebrate this Fourth of July weekend.
He just released a fan favorite called “Lies Lies Lies”, and if you haven’t heard it, it’s kind of a banger, like most of Morgan Wallen’s catalogue.
SUCH a good song, and I totally get why is super fans wanted him to release it.
It was originally a part of Morgan’s “Abbey Road Sessions” in London, and his fans have been begging for an actual studio recorded release, and he delivered.
The song is written by Jessie Jo Dillon, Josh Miller, Daniel Ross and Chris Tompkins, and if it goes to radio, I’m betting it’ll be another #1 for Morgan.
There is NO stopping this guy.
Unless, you know, he has another few scandals… but so did most of the greats in Country music.
Morgan Wallen is currently slaying it on his “One Night at a Time” staium tour, and you can get those dates at http://MorganWallen.com
Thomas Rhett just dropped his contribution to the upcoming “Twisters” move soundtrack, and it’s a total throwback to the 90’s Country Glory Days.
It’s called “Feelin’ Country”, and it’s definitely my favorite song that Thomas Rhett has released in the past couple of years:
Totally getting Travis Tritt “TROUBLE” vibes off this. Plus, with Thomas Rhett’s daddy being 90’s Country star Rhett Akins, well, the 90’s sound comes honestly.

Also, Thomas Rhett has a new album coming out on August 23rd called “About a Woma”, so we have that to look forward to as well.
I didn’t think it was possible, but I love Lainey Wilson even more after this video!
Lainey released the music video for her latest hit “Hang Tight Honey” today, and it’s pretty dang cool.
I love the 60’s vibe that it starts out with, and her band being heaviy featured as well.
Check it out below:
Seriously, how fun is that?
Hang tight honey, Lainey isn’t going anywhere. I kind of feel like she’s just getting started.
Good.
Check out her new album “Whirlwind” which drops August 23rd, and she is all over the place this year on the road- hence the inspiration for the song- and you can get her dates at http://LaineyWilson.com
